Quick Overview
Product Price Comparison
This book is a collection of poems in free verse. 21 in number, the themes range from coping to happiness, sadness, emotional and physical pain, coming to terms with life’s crossroads, the different slices, love, loved one/s, to dealing with one’s own emotions and understanding one’s perspectives. There is no strategy employed specifically in writing these verses, for they are as free-flowing as our thoughts. Neither have I deliberately gone out to use poetic devices to make them sound flowery. I have just written them to be as relatable as possible. I have written these verses when I was conflicted about something, or when I couldn’t contain the joy I felt. I needed an outlet and more importantly I wanted to understand what I was feeling better. It’s these words in verses and stanzas that have flowed, making me comprehend the intricacies of the human mind, thereby helping with the perspectives. These verses are in simple English and easily understood. They mean what they say and one needn’t look for hidden meanings or embark on a path of conjecture. I hope these verses will do for the reader what it did to me and give peace.
